Here is a great photo 105 of the original 1964 Mustang Replica Pace Car hardtops all together. Which one of these is the 5F08D172714 car? I think it's the white one third from the front in the second row from the right. Below the cars is Lee Iacocca and their receiving dealers at the "Checkered Flag Winners Day" in Dearborn on May 14, 1964.

This is the real deal. It's the actual White 1964 Mustang convertible that paced the Indianapolis 500 race. There was two others built especially for pacing the race (VIN 5F08F100240 and 5F08F100242). The others have yet to be found. These three Mustangs were modified by Holman-Moody with modified 289ci V-8 engines (originally they had stock 260s), lowered/stiffened suspension, grab bars (back seat side panels), two-way radios, and flag mounts. This one was listed on eBay with a reserve of $1,099,000.00

Here is a more recent shot of the Ford Fleet White 1964 Mustang convertible Indianapolis Pace Car. The car only has 3,376 miles on the clock. How did it survive? After the Indianapolis 500 race day, it was used as a parade car at the Sebring International Raceway in Florida for 11 seasons. In 1974 it was stored away in there storage facility. Then in early 1991 a MCA official discovered the Mustang, purchased it, and restored it.

The engine is a modified 289ci V8. Here is the description from the eBay listing, "Developed for the GT40 campaign, labeled "experimental" and, as far as anyone knows, the only factory-installed Mustang mill of its kind, this convertible's 450 horsepower V8 is a literal fairy-tale of Ford performance. At the top of the balanced, blueprinted and fully de-burred block, a gold, correctly decaled air cleaner feeds wind in to a correct Autolite 4-barrel that's clamped onto fresh steel fluid lines. At the base of that carburetor, a cast iron Ford intake rides between ported and polished Hi-Po heads, which are capped with bright gold valve covers. Below those heads, forged pistons and a drop forged crank combine with solid lifters and a C3 cam to create stout 10.5 to 1 compression. At the front of that cam, a reliable points distributor sequences fire through NOS, date-correct plug wires, which snake around correct Fairlane exhaust manifolds. And at the leading edge of those manifolds, NOS V-belts spin correct ancillaries behind a correct Galaxie radiator. Aesthetically, the jet black small block sits in a completely restored engine bay which features factory decals and smooth, Satin Black paint. And nice pieces like NOS plugs, an actual 'tar top' battery and tri-angulated, Holman Moody-installed bracing provide unmatched authenticity."

There were thirty-five 1964 Indy Pace Car convertibles used as Dignitary Cars for the race. They were built with red, white, or blue interiors. They were auctioned to dealerships and sold to the public after the race event. They were also known as festival cars, probably because they circled the track at the 500 Festival Open Invitation - a PGA Tour event in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1964. A couple are known to still exist today.
